Sleep Evades Me
The battle with insomnia.
The world calms and darkens. The hum of the long day slowly quiets as the world sleeps.
I lay here listening to the silence. Coaxing my mind to sleep. As much as I crave it, want it, need it... It still manages to evade me. The sheep betray me for I count and count and still, here I lay. Eyes wide. Mind running wild. Listening to the deafening sound of the crushing silence.
I wait.
I wait.
I wait.
Slowly time moves along.
Its maddening.
Even the sheep can't help me sleep.

Insomnia is maddening.
Sleep... Where have you gone?
Insomnia is maddening.

Sleeps Mistress
Sleep evades once more. Had it ever truly been with me? How many years must I endure this sickness. The clock ticks on. The night envelopes me. The darkness driving me mad. Or am I already mad? Welcomed by the night. Welcomed to the fold of darkness. Thoughts growing as dark as the sky. The silence settles around me again. Its Maddening.
